PREPARATIONS are being made to
again invade Oklahoma. AT a meeting
at Geuda Springs recently it was re-
solved by those present to congregate
1t that place on the 10th of August,
1887, thence to march to Okla
homa and there take possession of the
land. Each person is to take with
him one hundred days rations and
other necessary supplies. 1t was also
resolved that no person should be
allowed to receive any money for men,
bership in the organization, as was
done previously in like attempt to
gain possession of these lands.

THEY have struck gas within ten
miles of indianapolis but they can't get
it into that metropolis. The farmers
refuse TO allow the pipes to be laid
across their fields unless they are paid
the full value of their farms; neither
can the mains be laid in the highway
because the Indiana law gives the
property owner absolute control in this
matter, the commissioners not being
allowed to grant right of way without
the consent of the owners of the .abut-
ting property. In this dilemma the
owners of the gas wells are looking
over the tops of their spectacles at the
proud Hoosier capital and signing
Thou art so near and yet so far
Up to this time the farmer is master
of the situation.

THE Globe was informed some days
ago that Mr.. Conkling of the NJ, X. &
5. w. railway, travelled, while on his
work of securing franchises for his
road, on q pass from the Santa Fe.
This was mentioned by the party who
told us as an evidence to sustain his as
sertion that G. was working in the in
terest of the Santa Fe. The Globe
only published this as a news item.
We learn now that Mr.. G. denies the
report in regard to the pass and we
give him the benefit of the denial
Soden's Sheet.
In the instance alluded to above, as
in so many others from the same source,
the wish was possibly father to the item.
But why Soden's paper should make it
a point to always publish every "news
item" that is calculated to create dis
cord and make people loose faith in
our city is one of those things
beyond guessing. Mr.. Soden, the
gentleman who furnishes the
funds to run the plate concern,
most assuredly has nothing to gain and
much to lose by such course. He
should muzzle his editor during this hot
weather, or he may possibly get anoth-
er SIC, 600 libel suit on his hands.

A SCHOOL ma'am, explaining to her
friends how goat butted a boy over
the front gate, said: He hurled the
previous end of his anatomy against
the boys afterwards with an earnest
ness and velocity which, backed by the
ponderosity of the goats avoirdupois,
impaired to the youth momentum
that was not impeded or relaxed until
he was landed on terra firma without
the pale of the goats jurisdiction.

THE associated press sends out a
long string of crop reports, furnished
by the Abilene Gazette, which we fail
to publish, because of their obvious in
accuracy. In them Lyon county is re-

ranging as high as l25. The absurdity
of this is apparent to any one at all

DRINKING water has microbes, milk
has tyrotoxican, coffee has liver COM

has kidney troubles. Even whisky, in
which, according to science, no living
organism can exist, has snakes. All of
this in the midst of summer drought.

THE Salina Journal and some other
papers object to Rev. Bernard Kelley as
candidate for governor, because, as
they allege, he is too good preacher,
and claim that politics should be left
to the politicians. But we can see no
good reason why a good preacher
should not make good governor. As
to professional politicians, the fewer of
them that we have in office, we sur
mise, the better for the people.

The board of health is making war
on the poison vines in the cemeteries
and Paramount park, at Philadelphia.
Hundreds of men, women and children
have been poisoned by the vines this
summer, and an aggressive campaign
will be conducted to compel the remov-
al and destruction of the dangerous
foliage. The vine that is the most
abundant and the most dangerous is
the poison ivy. Many call it the poi
son oak, and in some sections it is
known as the mercury vine. 1t has
leaves formed of three leaflets, which
are notched, lobed, or even entire.
They are of glossy green, turning a
dark crimson in the autumn. 1t grows
luxuriantly both on the banks of the
Cottonwood and the Neosho, in this
vicinity, and is sometimes mistaken fol
the Virginia creeper, which, however
is easily distinguished by having five
leaflets instead of three, and having a
more delicate texture.

EMPoRIA patronlzes base ball better
than any city in Kansas. This is prob
ably owing to the fact that the grounds
are so near the city, and can be readily
reached. The street cars here run TO

to the park, and carry passengers free
to witness the games.

OTTAWA editors are real compliment

as heard from, we have no melon
thieves in the fraternity here.

Never talk in your sleep unless you are
sure what you are going to say.
Don't never be disconnected. It is
much easier to make your wife feel that
way
Never tell your wife she is charming
singer unless you happen to be deaf.
Don't fiatter yourself that you know
more than your wife until you have got
home from her funeral.
Don't be too friendly with your pros
pectiEe soa in-law. He may think you
intend to live, with him after he is mar
ried.
Don't try and fool your wife about
drinking unless you happen to marry an
idiot. Then it isn't worth your while to
do so.
Never tell your wife how much better
some other women dress unless you have
more money than you know what to do
with.
Never boast to your wife about the
value of past experiences. Your mother
in-law may settle herself down on you
next week.
Never find fault with the quality of
your wife's cooking. You may possibly
drive her to join some cooking club,
which would be Eauch worse.

He Can Drink for Hours Without Losing His
Breath.
Omaha Bee.
Otto Depfor of st. Louis is at present
the only individual in Omaha with two
mouths. There are many people in Oma-
ha who have mouth enough for two, but
Otto claims the belt as the nctual pos
seser of two orifces through which he
emits vocal sounds. Some time ago he
was struck by falling derrick, and his
throat was injured SO that his windpipe
was closed at its upper end. A sk1lful
surgical operation placed silver tube IN
the breath pipe, and he YVES saved from
actually dying for lack of air.
Subsequently the orifce to his mouth
and nostrils opened again, and Otto can
emit the fumes of his last drink into the
face of an appreciative but disguised
companion from two holes at the same
time. He can also play mouth organ
either way. 1t is extremely difficult to
appreciate to what extraordinary uses
Mr.. Depfor could not put his peculiar
powers.
AS a permanent police whistle he could
be a screeching success. He could also
drain schooner Of beer without taking
breath" as most people are obliged to
take it, because while the amber liquid
was gently and continuously gurgling
down one avenue. the possesser of this
silver tube breathing apparatus would
be calmly INDUCING in his regular respi
raticns. There are great possibilities in
store for Mr.. Depfor.
